Carole Vorderman Leaving Countdown?!?

[HonaloochieB]

It'll be a strange old mid-afternoon without her. Trying to put words together and then doing maths.

A couple of questions.

Has anyone on here appeared on Countdown?

Do you have the teapot to prove it?

If you did, did you get a 'niner'?

Did Carole flirt with you?

Did she flirt with you regardless of your gender?

As a male Roman Catholic student, at home on your own, did you ever commit a mortal sin with yourself that involved Carole Vorderman?

Just interested.

This is the woman who had a side-line in promoting "financial products"?

Apparently she had.

Are you a Roman Catholic?

I don't see anything wrong in principle with having a multi-millionaire and all-round maths whizz telling you who'll still give you a loan - even if you've already got a fistful of credit cards you can't pay off, CCJs, no job, a criminal record and your house is about to be repossessed.

[SteveT]

I thought she was a greedy moo for selling loans with her huge mathematical influence on the public, she was either greedy or unthinking.

[Guest]

I think she's pretty impressive, except for the mutton-dressed-as-lamb tendency.

[karter]

She did very well at promoting healthy eating and home cooking, maybe she will start that up again, she defo doesn't need the money though.

[Doodles]

Maybe she could promote plastic surgery?

I've finally met someone who is quicker,mathematicall,than me(apart from my M8-Andy)...Baitch:((6)

[Cassius]

I'm amazed that her age is given as 47 - I think that means that I have aged about 5 more years than she has since she started Countdown - or perhaps it's just her gift with numbers......

[SeanMacGabhann]

The offer made to Vorderman (90% cut if reports are to be believed) suggests that C4 are happy to seen Countdown end - it was never the same for me afte they extended it from 30 to 45 mins

As for how "bad" she feels as she still loves the show and the fans so much - well..... it's not like she can't afford to take the hit is it? She still gets a fair wedge for doing something she "loves" -

I liked her advert for Benecol.. the one where she demonstrated that Benecol could actually help 'lower' your cholesterol by pinching her fingers together when she said the word 'lower'. Because up until that point I didn't actually know what 'lower' meant.

Thanks, Carol!

Question: What does Carole Vorderman do when she gets constipation?

Answer: She works it out with a marker pen

[HonaloochieB]

So who should replace Carole and Doss O'Connor?

I'd like to see Rich Hall in the chair. He could appear as Otis Lee Crenshaw occasionally, just for variety.

And Emily Maitliss in Carole's role.

"Meanwhile Channel Four insiders revealed the star was told to calculate her pay cut using six random numbers, before being shown an anagram of 'First Plus'."

CAROLE VORDERMAN IN LINE TO BECOME NEXT POPE

So, the final countdown has started The thinking man's Carol Smilie, Carol Vorderman has shocked her many loyal fans by revealing her intention to be the next Pope.

Pontificating upon her desire to be the next Pontif, the brainbox behind Countdown, and those slightly sinister adverts where she invites all and sundry to consolidate their debts said:

"For a while now, I have needed a new challenge. Laughing at the jokes of Des Lynam, Des O'Connor, and Des from Neighbours (the bloke who looked like a long lost member of Showadywaddy,) is all very well, but it means that I don't have that much time to give back to society, and I feel that a slightly less stressful job is what I really need."

[Huguenot]

Flirt Puss?

Split Furs?

Fist Slurp?

[HonaloochieB]

And a special one for Des O'Connor - Down O' C@nt

[Huguenot]

Hmmm, a wee bit american but 'Nonce Odors'

[Jah Lush]

Or so Conned

[Huguenot]

And for longer term fans we have the Dirty Wheelchair.

[SteveT]

Suzy Dent is my favourite female on that show, by a long streak!

[????]

I bumped into her in Selfridges and she is indeed a sort

[SteveT]

I didn't know there was a bookies in Selfridges quids, is it called BetSelf;-)

She does not come across as a spectacular looker like Cathy Heitner did, but she has a certain indefinable understated charm, yep a sort alright.

[????]

No, I thought that, but in the flesh she reall has got it....

....no bookies on Oxford Street AVOID
